Chapter 784: Vicious Plan
By then, when they made their move and revealed the evidence against Su Zeyuan and Su Yuxi, Zhao Hui wouldn’t help them. They could then send the pair to prison without a hitch.
‘Were their methods underhanded?’
‘But when dealing with people like Su Yuxi and Su Zeyuan, why bother playing fair?’
Prison was where they belonged.
Letting them run wild would be irresponsible to everyone else!
Shen Yi quickly found a newspaper and had the photos published.
At the same time, since they knew about Su Yuxi and Su Zeyuan’s relationship, they made sure to leak that detail as well.
‘Could Zhao Hui really be unaware of the shady dealings between those two?’
Unlikely.
But no one had exposed it before. Now, with salacious gossip flying everywhere about their sordid affair, even if Zhao Hui knew they weren’t blood siblings, he would still be thoroughly disgusted.
After all, the unspoken secret was now out in the open.
Zhao Hui abandoned the Su siblings even faster than Qin Jiao and her group had imagined. Before the beginning of May, Jinyi Clothing Company had already declared bankruptcy.
To think that this company had entered North City with such fanfare, launching high-profile promotions and making all sorts of grand moves.
And now, less than half a year later, it had collapsed?
People throughout the industry were sighing in astonishment.
It was also worth mentioning what happened to the employees Su Zeyuan had poached from Jiuyi with high salaries. He had made them grand promises and even paid their breach-of-contract fees to Jiuyi.
At first, these employees worked diligently. They were all thinking about building a great future for themselves at Jinyi.
They were also especially looking forward to Jinyi’s year-end bonuses.
But in the end? Nothing.
‘The company was gone. How could there be any year-end bonuses?’
Meanwhile, at the nearby Jiuyi Clothing Company, orders were flooding in. Everyone, from the cleaning staff to the security guards at the entrance, received a bonus.
Employees in key departments even had their salaries doubled.
Most importantly, it was plain for all to see just how well Jiuyi’s business was doing.
At this rate, they might even build a company that could last a century.
Compared to Jinyi, which had folded in less than six months… the handful of employees who had jumped ship were filled with a regret they couldn’t put into words.
But they were too ashamed to go back, and besides, Jiuyi certainly wouldn’t take them back.
The moment Jinyi announced its bankruptcy, Qin Jiao and Shen Yi handed all the related evidence over to Gu Xu and his colleagues.
Gu Xu was stunned. “It really is them! They’re so audacious!”
Calling them audacious was no exaggeration.
They had successfully faked their deaths and taken on new identities, yet they still came back to North City to stir up trouble?
Did they have a death wish, or were they just provoking the authorities?
Gu Xu immediately led his colleagues to begin the investigation and prepare for the arrests. Meanwhile, Qin Jiao and Shen Yi purposefully reminded their families to be extra careful over the next few days.
They worried that Lin Nian and her accomplice might do something desperate now that they were cornered.
And in the end, that’s exactly what they did.
In truth, this wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision for Lin Nian. She knew Zhao Hui was losing interest in her; after all, the man was incredibly formidable, with immense power behind him.
He could have any woman he wanted.
The only reason Lin Nian had managed to latch onto him was because of information she’d gotten from that book. She knew exactly what kind of woman this big shot desired.
‘She was simply catering to his tastes.’
In the original book, this powerful man had unintentionally rescued Qin Shi, who had been a victim of human trafficking. He found himself drawn to her—she was fragile yet strong, beautiful and stubborn despite all the abuse she had endured.
But Zhao Hui had also tormented Qin Shi relentlessly. By the time he realized his feelings for her, he had already wounded her beyond measure.
It was, in short, a tormented love story.
But in this life, for whatever reason, Qin Shi didn’t suffer the same tragic fate. Instead, she studied hard and grew into a quiet, composed young woman—not Zhao Hui’s type at all.
As for Zhao Hui, after growing tired of Lin Nian, he withdrew his investment from the Jinyi Company but still gave her a sum of money.
After all, she had been with him.
Lin Nian and Lu Jiuan planned to flee the country together.
But Lu Jiuan couldn’t get Meng Lanlan out of his mind and wanted to go find her, which infuriated Lin Nian.
So, Lin Nian made a decision: she would go to the kindergarten and take the child named Xingxing!
‘That would surely drive Meng Lanlan insane!’
When she arrived at the kindergarten, she saw a pair of twin siblings playing with Meng Xingxing. A malicious glint appeared in her eyes as a new, vicious plan began to form.
